THE COAL STRIKES.
Knights of Labor and Union Men
inaugurate Strike.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-The struggle Of the
striking 'longshoremen, that has to a GER
tain extent become merged into that OF the
coal handlers was transferred to field Of
wider proportions today, when it became
known that the Knights of Labor had de-
cided that no coal of any sort should be
handled in the port of New York by union
men on the ground that all the coal In the
harbor has now been put aboard barges by
nOn-union men. Thus the transferring of
coal to transatlantic and coastwise steam
ships can be sundertaken by union men
no longer and the supply Of coal to con-
sumers in this city, Brooklyn, and other
points around the harbor Of New York can
not be replenished by union men.
The effect Of the carrying out Of the order
of the Knights not to load coal became i'm
mediately apparent all along the river
front. All ocean and coastwise steamer
lines, with few exceptions, suddenly found
themselves deserted by union 'longshore-
men whenever there was coal to be trans
ferred on vessels.
The order not to handle coal extends to
union men outside of the port Of New York,
even as far as New Orleans. 1t Is said that
union 'longsh0remen and Others are under
obligations not to load vessels with coal
With the success of the coal handlers, the
'lOngsh0remen, it was stated, could easily
force transatlantic and eoastwise steamship
lines to refuse TO handle Old Dominion
freight The question Of ordering general
strike OF 'lOngsh0remen is being considered,
so it was said by the executive board of
the Ocean Association of 'Longshoremen's
Unions.I At o'clock all the 'longshore-
men working by the hour for the National
and Cunard steamship companies struck.
On going to dinner at noon today they gave
no intimation to their superintendent that
they did not intend to return. The long
shoremen employed by the National line
struck because the company had employed
eleven Italians to work in the grain elevator.
Grain had been shipped, 1t was said, by nom
union men. The trouble on the Cunard
dock was that the superintendent had
tax en- some of the old time hands and given
them steady employment at the rate of SIG
week Men who worked by the hour said
that the new weekly hands would be event
ually compelled to unload barges, or at
least that AN attempt would be made to
have them do so. The Cunard company, the
men said, would have TO go back 20 the old
order of things if they desired TO have the
strike declared off. The steamboats, Of the
Stonington and Fall River lines were not
loaded with their usual supply of coal today,
as the 'longshoremen struck in accordance
with the order not to handle any coal in
port. The company will. therefore, have to
hire non-union men, and it is a question
whether they will be able to load the vessels
so that they can leave on schedule time. At
the pier of the Wilson line the 'longshore-
men struck rather than load three of the
company's vessels with coal.

RETALIATION.
Comments of the Canadian Press on
the Senate Resolutions.
Tho Toronto Globe savageiy Attacks
the Senate

ToRoNTo, Jan. 26.-Referring to the
Washington fisheries legislation the Toronto
Globe Of today says; The United States
Senate, since 1t became a caucus of pluto
Gratis, has displayed little craftsmanship and
its decadence In general esteem will be fur
thered by its retaliat0ry fisheries bill. When
no regular evidence was before them and
with none in rebuttal Of the statements OF
angry fishermen, the Senators of the United
States have brought Canada up for trial,
pronounced her guilty, and put a weapon for
her punishment into the Presidents hands.
The use of that weap0nwill iniure American
trade at least as much as the Canadian. 1t
does not lessen the contempt due to Senate
rial legislators. Their game in its diplomat
ic aspect Is the old one Of alarming Great
Britain into bulldoZing Clnada.
The Toronto Mail says: The retaliatOry
measure has been passed by the United
States Senate, and as result poor Canada is
to suffer II she persists in enforcing her
treaty rights. Canadian authorities simply
required American fishermen TO obey the
customs laws and TO report on entrance and
to clear regularly upon departure Only
two seizures were made for violation Of the
treaty. The Canadian government has moi
in single instance refused any fair rights
Of hospitality, having allowed all reasonable
facilities for shelter and repairs, wood and
water and medical advice.

Of the decided front presented by Congress,

the attitude Of the United States Congress
on the fisheries question. :
MONTREAL. Jan. 26-All leading Canadian
papers, irrespective Of party, agree that
Canada's position Is impregnable on the
fisheries and urge the Dominion government
to uphold Canada's rights at all hazards.
At the same time the hope Is expressed that
the United States government will not take

lieved that the laws will bring about ad-
vanced methods and better results of arbi-
tration. The appointment of commission
er in each county is provided for, and to him
shall be referred all labor troubles in his jul
risdiction. He shall make thorough inves-
tigation and make report to the District

DOVER, N. H., Jan. 26-John Dominique,
a grocer Of Great Falls, went over into Ber-

WILLIAM e. GLADSTONE.
Can He be a Member OF an American
Political Club?

CHICAGO, Jan. ga decided sensation
was created at the annual meeting Of the
Cragin, ON behalf of the committee ON politi-
cal action, proposing for honorary member
ship Hon. William +, Gladstone. 0ppOsi-
tion was speedily developed however, and a
member raised the point that an alien being
ineligible for active membership he was also
ineligible for honorary membership. Sever
al other members suggested that the proceed
ings were irregular, from the fact that the
name had not been reported through the
proper committee. Some further discussion
ensued, and when a motion that the matter
be laid on the table was put to vote, there
were few dissenting voices. The incident
excited great deal of comment, and there
were many who said the affair was unfortu-
nate from every standpoint, and more partic-
ularly from the fact that there are about 100
Englishmen who are members Of the club.

fees The Attorney General holds that they
go to himself, while the Secretary of State
